The L’Authentique range follows the French tradition of everyday staples and seasonal specialties - reflecting the availability of different produce throughout the year. We also celebrate the tip-to-tail philosophy of making the most and minimising wastefulness.
TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE
A good sausage starts with prime cuts of fresh free-farmed New Zealand meat, minced with a coarse grind. Then we season the mince following our traditional recipes, and the occasional special new innovation. Because we don’t add gluten, fillers or nitrates, you get a more flavoursome, meaty sausage.
Each 420gm pack has 6 x 70 gram sausages.
